EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, at Buckingham Palace in 1942. Born Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon on August 4, 1900, she was the youngest daughter of the 14th Earl and Countess of Strathmore and Kinghorne. She married the Duke of York, later King George VI, in 1923, and became the Queen Consort when her husband ascended to the throne in 1936 following the abdication of King Edward VIII. The photograph was taken during a difficult period in British history, with the country at war and facing the challenges of the Second World War. Despite the hardships, the Queen Mother continued to carry out her royal duties, providing a sense of stability and unity for the British people. In this portrait, she is seen wearing a simple yet elegant dress and pearls, with a serious yet resolute expression on her face. The background is blurred, drawing the focus to the Queen Mother herself and her unwavering strength and determination. As the mother of the reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth, and the grandmother of Prince Charles, Princess Anne, and Prince Andrew, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, played a significant role in the history of the British monarchy. Her legacy continues to be celebrated, and this portrait serves as a powerful reminder of her resilience and dedication during a time of great adversity.
